Metal mesh touch sensors from Zhejiang xinrou Technology Co. Ltd. (FlexTouch) help create a great touchscreen experience in the smartphones, laptops, and tablets we use every day. To support its cutting-edge design capabilities and mass production operations, FlexTouch needs its technological, financial, and logistics operations to run in harmony. But a complicated IT infrastructure impeded access to data and slowed decision- making. FlexTouch decided it was time to implement an intelligent infrastructure for ERP in the cloud. Before embarking on this project, it needed a robust plan to help minimize complexity and better integrate IT systems with the legacy business environment.
